The Design
About The Renovation of Ankang Library Ang Gusali
Ang orihinal na Aklatan ng Ankang ay binuksan noong 1984, at ang mga pasilidad nito ay nahulog sa likod ng edad ng impormasyon bago ang pagsasaayos. Pinasigla ng proyekto ng pagsasaayos ang lumang aklatan sa isang bago, bukas at nakakaengganyang espasyo ng komunidad, na nagha-highlight at lumikha ng isang malakas na kaibahan sa kasalukuyang konteksto nito. Mula nang magbukas, muling na-activate ng bagong aklatan ang kultural na buhay ng lokal na komunidad, at ang bilang ng mga bisita araw-araw ay tumaas mula 10 katao hanggang 3,000 katao.

Perforated Aluminum Cladding - Inspiration
- The new Ankang Library adopts a modern curtain wall system, forming a concise massing and pure colour. The transparent glazing combined with the delicate perforated aluminum cladding create an effect akin to a halo. When the two buildings are seen with the vibrant and disordered old city, the following strong contrast brings unexpected drama and contrast. Forty years of passed time are visible with these two urban realms, like a surreal space-time dislocation.
